Take The Step – Be a Champion for Children
Kids don’t get to lobby politicians or vote in elections for policies that keep them healthy and safe. They need someone to champion their cause – and that’s where you come in.
Become a Champion for Children now and we’ll keep in touch with you with activities, tasks and events you can participate in individually or with others to help end child poverty in our country. …
Good stuff. We should all sign up. We need to make alleviating child poverty the election issue of 2014.
